It was recently announced that two well-known Kodi repositories are no more.. They were officially shut down because of legal action.
The Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) has stepped forward. They confirmed that they were the organization behind the legal proceedings against OneNation and KodiUKTV developer groups.
OneNation and KodiUKTV are Kodi developer groups. They were involved in the creation and distribution of 3rd party Kodi add-ons and builds.
OneNation and KodiUKTV were two of the better-known Kodi developer groups. Their repositories contained some of the best Kodi add-ons and builds.
Both groups made statements on social media addressing the situation.
OneNation Statement –
????So all good things must come to an end OneNation is going offline due to outside legal pressures that have made us close our doors . Thank you all for using our builds and addons ! We will miss you all and I will miss all the team members an amazing bunch ????
